[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have no bloody idea who Emmanuel Acho is so I googled him. Former NFL but don't see the connection for why he hosted? I found him likable. Hillbilly America watches this show so I like how they discussed everything without making it 'threatening for the racists'... hopefully it does make people think about their upbringing/behaviour... at one point I was just cringing with how Rachel kept insisting she was 'educating herself' without explaining or offering examples... and she was sitting between two black men, yet still so clueless. You can't get blood from a stone. Poor Matt. At one point when Acho was like 'ok you can hug and say goodbye' and Matt could not even move or look at her... and they sat stiffly. Was so cringe. I mean you can be ignorant/unaware or have differences in world view or upbringing... but when you can't even come to terms to talk/learn from each other.... damn. I think that is her youth perhaps- totally lacking in depth... but also perhaps he was too inarticulate with her to get her to understand.

Ugh, run far from each other and stay far away.[/quote]

I've always liked Matt but the fact that he couldn't even look at her or could barely say a word was very disappointing. I find the whole thing over the top. I'm a POC in my 40s and I can think back of a handful of times that my friends (of various backgrounds) have said some racially ignorant things and I've done some things too that would make people cringe these days. In all situations no friendships were ruined and in fact some of these events gave us an opportunity to have meaningful discussions about race and stereotypes and guess what, we learned from each other. Friendships and relationships don't have to end.[/quote]
